Risk assessment
Task planning must address travel, terrain, weather, equipment, exposure, fatigue, wildlife and security context.
Health, safety & security
Every person should return safely.
Field activities demand practical risk control, competent supervision, emergency readiness, responsible security and the authority to stop unsafe work.
Critical foundations
Plan, control, learn and improve.
Critical controls
Define non-negotiable controls, competent verification and stop-work authority for high-consequence hazards.
Emergency readiness
Maintain location-aware response plans, communications, medical support, escalation and tested drills.
Responsible security
Use proportionate, rights-respecting arrangements with clear conduct, training, incident and grievance pathways.
Learning culture
Report early. Investigate fairly. Correct effectively.
- No retaliation for good-faith safety reporting
- Immediate control of continuing danger
- Investigation depth proportionate to potential consequence
- Actions assigned to accountable owners and verified closed
- Lessons shared without exposing personal or sensitive security data
